    If you have a 64-bit system, see if the x64 version works. I was happily surprised that it didn't have the same error with 64-bit after the 32-bit consistently failed and it gave me some race time last night. So far, I think you and I are the only ones who have reported this error.

    tried it for an hour last night ( 32 bit mode )

    auto updater seemed to work without problems,
    was stable during the test hour
    lighting changed a bit ? .....auto HDR seems ramped up slightly (think it looks better)
    sounds -I'm sure I'm noticing improvements here too (hope we continue to get some sound improvements each build )

    was having some minor reflection issues on some tracks, nothing major -perhaps tracks need updating to sync with this build?

    sticking to 32bit until plug-ins are updated to 64 compatibility

    maybe improved performance when a lot of cars in view but can not be sure without a methodical benchmark

    thanks for the updates ( sooooo looking forward to tire contact patch etc updates )

    This is from b770, fresh install only maintaining the Settings folder.

    I noticed now I cannot select between most car skins I have after the update. Usually it'll only show one custom skin despite there being 3 or 4 that worked before. Only in one instance I can browse through two different custom skins and is with one of the Indycars. Does anybody experience the same or know how to solve this?

    I create two batch files to swap between 32 and 64 bits versions.

    copy files to your rfactor2 folder

    Edit files with notepad and change the line in both files:
    Code:
    set rFactor2Folder= "D:\rFactor2"
    Set your rFactor2 path

    For first time your rFactor2.exe must be 32bits version and run "Run_64version.bat" to create the backup files of 32 bits version.

    "Run_32version.bat" to set 32Bits mode
    "Run_64version.bat" to set 64bits mode

    Just in case this is important for ISI Dev: After installing Lite B770 on top of B660 I had this BMP window error at starting. I didn't get a chance to test any unstable after B660 so it was a clean B660 install. Now all is OK after uninstalling all and installing Lite B770.

    I've seen/read one other, but yes a slim set of data.

    Same problem for me (Windows 7 64 bits). I tried to install a new version Lite after uninstalling the core thru the uninstaller and I still get the same error. I get this error with both versions, 32 and 64 bits.

    But the mods I have tested work fine. I feel shaders ave changed slightly for better, and I don't know if it is objective, but on the Nurburing (Ring Tourist) I found the Darche much easier to control.

    Solved following the advice from mavericckk.http://isiforums.net/f/showthread.php/20636-Error-launching-rfactor2-770

    Hey guys,

    FYI, I did a clean install and ported over my packages folder contents and was up and running very quickly.... YAY... No problems as of yet.

    Quick question, does the auto-update merge the contents of your old player.ini & multiplayer.ini contents into the new json formatted files or is it just default settings?

    I belong to a club that is heavily into league events but half of our members are somewhat technology limited. Just looking to see what's ahead for those choosing to use the auto-updater.

    Thanks.

    I`ve noticed something similar. I have several custom skins for the URD mod and all show up no problem apart from the Venom skins I`ve done... they just will not show up.

    Makes finishing the skins pretty hard. :p

    Tried it again today, didn't change anything (not even rebooted the pc) but immediately worked this time. Weird, but I'm not complaining :).

    This thread was hidden good :p

    I have no idea how to set steering torque minimum in the new build. It stated "0," as default and I typed "0,02"... that lead rf2 now working anymore (first I though it was some other reason and did fresh install because of that :/ )

    so, before we entered 0.02000 if we wanted 2% of steering torque minimum, what about now?

    Otherwise I have tested 64bit a little but not enough to state anything useful...seem to be working fine, maybe a little faster but nothing major (maybe I have too much content installed :p)

    It will have tried to copy your player file, which used , instead of . then for a decimal? It would be 0.02, not 0,02 you need.

    Not quite sure I understand what you are saying... in the new JSON controller file it looks like this:

    "Steering torque minimum":0,
    "Steering torque minimum#":"Minimum torque to apply in either direction to overcome steering wheel's 'FFB deadzone' caused by friction",

    So how to I type 2% of steering torque minimum here?

    No, you need proper syntax in that file.

    "Steering torque minimum":"0.02",

    Your comma, which is incorrect, ended the line.

    thought it would be
    "Steering torque minimum":0.02,

    not

    "Steering torque minimum":"0.02",

    ?
